I finally got some sleep last night. Yay God! I actually dosed off last night during a telephone converstation with my sister. I was awakened by her saying “Hello. Hello. Linda, are you there?” 
I apologized and she excused me from the conversation. I immediately went to bed. Then, soon after that, while I was sleeping, I received another phone call. It was my almost 5 year old granddaughter from California calling me to thank me for the birthday gifts I sent her. What a joy that was. She has developed so wonderfully in her verbal and communication skills (she’s in Kindergarten). It was delightful to speak with her, and I even got to speak to my two month old grandson who I am told by my son was listening very attentively to my voice coming through the phone to his hearing. I feel so blessed when I get the opportunity to speak with my children, grandchildren, family and friends. I’m really looking forward to my trip out to the west coast during the Christmas holidays. I know it’ll be like being in heaven being able to be with my loved ones, especially my adorable grandchildren. I can hardly wait to hold them in my arms and laugh and play with them. I have to be patient; one day at a time.
I have a busy day scheduled for today. I have one doctor’s appointment, I have to read two chapters from my online class textbook, I have another class assignment to work on that’s due tomorrow and I have some other running around and chores I have to do today.
It’s difficult being me. I’m physically and mentally challenged and because of that, I must be able to understand the expectations of my life fully without ambiguity. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand the on-line class assignment that was due yesterday and after receiving an email from my instructor clarifying the requirements of the assignment this morning, I had to re-write and re-submit it. The bad thing about this is that I did email my instructor about my confusion on how the assignment should be completed way before it was due but his response was so vague (as opposed to the late instructions that I received from him today), I just simply “winged” it, hoping I was getting it right. Oh well, live and learn. I did reoly to my instructor’s email today wherein he clarified the assignment ever so well (which is the way I had hoped he had done originally) thanking him for the better clarification and to let him know that I re-submitted the assignment. I also stated in my email to him that I acknowledge that my assignment may not receive full credit as it is being submitted correctly a day late. I wonder if he’ll actually ding it because really, in all actuality, his first response to my original question regarding the assignment was vague and inadequate AND…I also explained to him that I have muscular dystrophy and how I would, as his student, need all my assignments to be very clear so that my compromised mind can comprehend it.
I’m feeling o.k. today. I’m a little tired and weak but that is to be expected. I’m still taking one Phenegran a day to couteract any nauseating side effects from the storng antibiotic regimen I’m still on (I have 4.5 days left to go on that med pack).
Looking out through my window, it appears to be a glorious weather day outside. I shall collect myself to go run my chores and will hopefully, in faith, get everything right today.
Peace and love, Out! Linda <><
